Will 21 inch replacement blades fit a mower with blades that measure 20-5/8 inches

lawn-mower

Mower is a belly mounted 60 inch mower mounted on a Mahindra emax 22. The mower is manufactured by Amerequip for Mahindra. Manual specifies three 21 inch blades; however, the aftermarket blades found on the mower measure 20-5/8 inches. I intend to replace; however, want to use appropriate aftermarket blades. Like 2×4 lumber, the 21 inch description might simply be a nominal reference, but, I want to be certain.

My Mahindra has several similar differences. Not being made in the US the metric measurements are slightly different. With the measurements being just a couple of 8ths under will work fine.
